Wrestling in Front of 11 People & Classic Women Wrestlers
My first-ever NXT show was in 2012. Believe it or not, we had a special guest, Booker T, to help sell tickets. It was all so exciting – until we saw that only 11 people showed up! I couldn’t believe it. It was such a shock—like, this is the WWE? But NXT was still new […]
Bob Backlund, & The Strongest Women I’ve Faced
Strength and athletic ability, of course, factor into great wrestling. However, for me, it’s a lot of the little in-between things that a wrestler does beyond just those attributes – things that a lot of people don’t see or pay attention to at first. These are things that seem so simple – like footwork and […]
AEW & WB & Mixed Feelings On Raw & More
As for AEW and Warner Bros? Money changes everything, and ever since Mercedes Moné hit the scene, the business has been on fire! Have fun with that, my Moné Haters. Seriously, the future of wrestling looks bright, and it’s just exciting to see where wrestling is going to be in the next five years. AEW […]
Extreme Wrestling- Worth It?
All Out was extremely violent, and honestly, Bryan Danielson’s stuff was tough to watch. I have mixed emotions. When done right, that kind of stuff can tear a roof off like Bryan’s did. However, I wouldn’t want my brother Joshua to watch stuff like that, or kids, for that matter. Let’s face it, wrestling is […]
Friends, Family & ALL-Out Fashion
Kamille was officially banned from my match at ALL OUT. Did that slow me down? Absolutely not! I stepped out in a gorgeous kimono, paying homage to Japan, where I’m the NJPW Strong Women’s Champion. I wanted to remind everyone who holds that title, and what better way to do it than to do it […]
Japan Wrestling a True Sport
The Japanese train in such a different style. They call it “strong style,” and you can see that with Momo- and all the Japanese girls, really. Their kicks and strikes are just impressive! They really treat wrestling like a sport! For them, it’s not just a side job and not just entertainment. So, they train […]
DC Title Defense & Backstage at Capital Collision
I loved my match in DC at Capital Collision, but I am definitely feeling sore. All the travel from Wembley to Champaign to DC definitely took its toll but it was nothing compared to what I endured in the match! Before I get into that, let me say how good it felt to feel and […]
“Come See Me- Come Find Me” & IG Inspiration
People have been wondering who I was talking about in my post-fight comments when I said, ‘Come see me, Come find me.’ Really, I’m speaking to any girl who thinks that she is a better fighter than me. I don’t know who that might be, but I remain committed to facing the absolute best wrestlers […]
Training For Britt Baker & the Role YouTube Plays
So much talk about hair, makeup, costumes, schedules, and packing, but what about actual training? I do have a main event match on our biggest stage against one of the best in Britt Baker. To that point, I get to the gym as often as I can. No matter what, I always hit my 30-minute […]
CEO Back to Fenway & Boston Kinships
Okay, let’s switch gears. I was out one night in Boston when I bumped into Kofi Kingston’s brother, of all people. He told me about Pearl Jam playing at Fenway the next night and how amazing it would be to go, but he said tickets were impossible to get at the last minute. Not impossible […]
